ec2953 san,
konnichiwa.
I didn’t know you live in Paris.
I saw news regarding shooting and hostages.
I am sorry for people passed away.
I hope you can live safely.

Thank you for your kind words~

I should maybe move again away of the country given some circumstances.

Sigh ...

日本は現在どうでしょうか?
経済以外のは。

ec2953 san,
konnichiwa.
I found information regarding the level of safety.
http://dlift.jp/countrypeace/countryPeaceDisplay
この情報は最新のものではありませんし、書いた人は日本を贔屓目に見ているかもしれませんが、自然災害を除いて日本は安全だと言われています。
It’s not the latest information and the witter might have been looking at Japan optimistically, it said Japan is safe except natural disasters.

Yuki 先生、

また勉強になりまして、感謝します。
あの情報量が多いね。そういえば、私も、自然災害を除いて日本も非常に安全な国だと思います。
うらやましいね ★✨

わたしが平和とかも大変にして、本当によかったです。

For the next translation, I decided to select a song sang by 新垣・結衣(あらがき・ゆい)although I think the original version is from MONGOL 800.

The name of the song is ちいさな恋のうた

Here is the link to the song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYNPz9jApb0&list=PLmuPL5jaEWhP8iMeZzg8Dg638xYEAQUXe&index=3

広い宇宙の数ある一つ 青い地球の広い世界で
小さな恋の思いは届く 小さな島のあなたのもとへ
あなたと出会い 時は流れる 思いを込めた手紙もふえる
いつしか二人互いに響く 時に激しく 時に切なく
響くは遠く 遥か彼方へ やさしい歌は世界を変える
ほら あなたにとって大事な人ほど すぐそばにいるの
ただ あなたにだけ届いて欲しい 響け恋の歌
ほら ほら ほら 響け恋の歌

あなたは気づく 二人は歩く暗い道でも 日々照らす月
握りしめた手 離すことなく 思いは強く 永遠誓う
永遠の淵 きっと僕は言う 思い変わらず同じ言葉を
それでも足りず 涙にかわり 喜びになり
言葉にできず ただ抱きしめる ただ抱きしめる
ほら あなたにとって大事な人ほど すぐそばにいるの
ただ あなたにだけ届いて欲しい 響け恋の歌
ほら ほら ほら 響け恋の歌

夢ならば覚めないで 夢ならば覚めないで
あなたと過ごした時 永遠の星となる

ほら あなたにとって大事な人ほど すぐそばにいるの
ただ あなたにだけ届いて欲しい 響け恋の歌
ほら あなたにとって大事な人ほど すぐそばにいるの
ただ あなたにだけ届いて欲しい 響け恋の歌
ほら ほら ほら 響け恋の歌

There is one big world in a blue Earth (among many ones) in this wide universe.
A small thought of love will reach you who are on a small island.
Meeting you, time is flowing, the number of letters full of (charged with) feeling is increasing.
Without us realising, it is echoing between us.
It is sometimes intense, sometimes painful.
It resonates far away, to the distant opposite shore.
This gentle song will change the world.

ec2953 san,
こんにちは。
いいえ、どういたしまして。
すみません。
I don’t get the meaning of 大変 in わたしが平和とかも大変にして、本当によかったです.
Is it 大切?

Beginner Season 1

158 (~12)

Beginner Season 2

(~5)

I haven't quite advanced in the mastery of the new lessons I've been listening to, since some of the lesson's difficulty is definitely off my charts so far (~163 for instance).

I've started to listen to the first lessons from the second season without taking notes, and I am considering alternating with Lower Intermediate lessons every 3 lessons from the Beginner Series, that is to say that I'll listen to one podcast from the Lower Intermediate series after I feel I've mastered 3 lessons from the Beginner S2.

I'll also start to watch the videos designed for beginners as well once I have more time :)

みんなさん、がんばりましょう〜  :D
